Dan Rizzo's Reviews
Boasting a sleek design and overall presentation is an achievement Criterion should be proud of. For fans of the franchise, or its parent category, and those who own the Hybrid handheld should definitely consider adding this essential to their library. Burnout Paradise on Nintendo Switch is a must have.
Jump in, it sure is to be a bumpy ride at the beginning, but Assetto Corsa Competizione is on a course to smooth sailing as one of the best racing simulators… with some cut and polish intended.
51 Worldwide Games is an amazing assortment of incredible inspiration. Its innovative gameplay, and lax presentation makes for an exemplary experience for everyone. Its charm in delivering a unified understanding acquaints players with cognitive and knowledgeable demonstrations, while achieving a learning curve for those who are unfamiliar with some of its uncommon motley of mixed mini-games.
With many additions included alongside its feature length campaign, including its downloadable characters, handful of skins and new arena’s, and of course Cary Tagawa’s own campaign, you will not be disappointed by this astonishing adventure. Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is essential gaming for hardcore, and old-school fans of its historic legacy.
From its engaging story, its mystical cast of fascinating characters, its charming appeal, and world of wonders, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition proves itself once again, to be the greatest JRPG story ever told, period.
While Mafia II: Definitive Edition may be an uninspired revisiting, it does aspire to deliver a steady cinematic experience.

While re-establishing the brand into an entirely new gameplay loop will not only reaffirm Gears’ flexibility, but opens the door for its legacy to grow further. Gears Tactics is an industry changing realisation that marks an illustrious movement in gaming development.
Streets of Rage 4 has re-awoken from its elongated dormancy. In its inspirational comeback to prominence, the beat ’em up brawler has made an admirable effort in reaffirming the genre as a staple of the current gaming climate.
Illfonics respectable efforts are recognised here, and have shown slight improvement over their survival horror title. It certainly is in need of improvements, but you will have a fun playing this title. For however long though, is at your discretion.
Its accessibility is consistent, and makes for a smooth and flawless experience. It’s fun and engaging to play, and would be a great entry point for those looking to experience a JPRG, on a smaller scale. Trials of Mana remains legenadary through its 2020 remake.
Yes, it may seem like a manifestation of all the quintessential traits seen in many title’s within it’s genre’s nature, but that’s what makes Sakura Wars awesome. Sakura Wars separates itself from being just another typical dungeon crawler; it breaks the mold and creates something unique, fresh and memorable.
While I would love to say that this title is an authentic, Aussie Rules Footy experience in your hands, I just can’t approve of the numerous dilemma’s it carries. If there was anything positive to take from the title itself, it’s that AFL Evolution 2 is a playable experience, but one you would ultimately walk away from questioning its existence.
With an established franchise that has had its fair share of mixed emotions in prior entries, it’s wonderful to see it reach new heights, and garner a wider appeal amongst gamers. Animal Crossing New Horizons is no doubt, an essential staple to the growing Nintendo Switch library, and will be marked as such a memorable social tool in a time that humanity, truly needed it.
With every square inch of its redesign, FF7R’s remaster takes what we know and love about its initial entry and overhauls its experience to fit the mold of the gamer of today. It’s faithful, yet fresh. It’s the same experience, redefined. It’s familiar, yet breathtaking. And most importantly, it’s one of the best game’s of our generation. Final Fantasy VII: Remake is in clear contention for Game of the Year, again… in 2020.
Bleeding Edge is quite a cool casual game for existing XBOX Games Pass subscribers. It delivers something different to the ordinary arena-based combat shooter and should be experienced by those who have the luxury of getting their hands on it.
Comparing it to the last entry of the reborn franchise will be hard to avoid, just as it was while reviewing the title. As a standalone experience, RE3 is quite solid. It's still an intense, fast paced, survival-horror adventure; jam packed with bombastic sequences, subtle comedy, and a cast of memorable characters that re-counts their story to an entirely new generation.
While Team Ninja leave us wanting more from their unique Souls series, they are an inspiring reminder to all gamers everywhere of how innovative the Kyoto based, development company are, and how it will forever be associated with this franchise. Nioh 2 forges a legacy that will ultimately set a benchmark for future Souls-like titles, in hopes to eventually lead us into a new generation of vigorous, yet compelling video games.
I highly suggest any gamer out there to experience the nonsense that exudes nothing but jaw dropping, trigger-happy action. [...] There will be a rhythm to get a hold of once jumping into the deep end of the title, but once you have it down-pat, DOOM Eternal will be one of the most memorable experiences in gaming, you will have this generation.
